to start thinking like that is like what is the experience that you can charge people for that

they'll appreciate that they'll leave in the reviews like i love this hotel because i could bring

my dog i love this hotel because my wife and i could could grab a drink at the bar and

and we were able to spend quality time together without having to go out in the cold and run around

random bars to find a place,

right? And so it's like those things that you have to like rewire your thinking is like now

you're in the experience game. Welcome to the Rich Drummers Report where we talk real estate,

business and wealth building all while keeping it real. No fluff, no BS. I hope that you enjoy the show.

Okay. keeping it real. No fluff, no BS. I hope that you enjoy the show. All right, guys, today I got someone who owns and controls almost $200 million in real estate, specifically in the hotel space.

Brandon hotels, boutique hotels, he's doing a little bit of this and that, but we are going to drop a lot of game, a lot of value in the hotel game. Brandon hotels, boutique hotels. He's doing a little bit of this and that,

but we are going to drop a lot of game, a lot of value in the hotel game. I got my man, Sujay Meta in the building. Sujah, welcome to the show. Thank you so much, Rich, man. It's crazy. It's first time here, dude. It's a beautiful studio. I love this. Appreciate you coming all, man, it's been a long time coming and I know you were at a holiday event a couple years back.

Yes. But this is the first time we ran a, it's been a long time coming. And I know you were at a holiday

event a couple years back. But this is the first time we ran a podcast together. We've been talking about this for years, man. So excited to have this conversation with you guys today. And more excited for the listeners to experience this with myself. Yeah, dude. I'm super pumped and, you know, hopefully, hopefully we're going to bring the game today. Oh, we're going to bring the heat, man. So give us a snapshot before we get rolling.

What do you currently own today in the real estate space? Yeah, no. So in the real estate space, my niche is hotels, right? So boutique and branded hotels, like you mentioned, as entrepreneurs, like we're going to get our hands in all kinds of things. So I have some single family stuff. I have some multifamily stuff that we've invested in. And we control. But really the focus and the niche is hotels and hospitality. So branded and boutique. Branded and boutique. Can you define the difference between a branded hotel and a boutique hotel? Yeah, absolutely. So boutique hotels is a big trigger word right now. Yes. Everyone's boutique, boutique hotel. Most people don't know what it means, though. They don't know what it means. They don't know how to pronounce it. No one knows what it means, right? But really, it's like the sexy thing right now that everyone's trying to get into. And a lot of people define it as like this kind of

mid-scale, you know, it's not too big, right? Like technically the, the Win Hotel in Vegas is like

an independent boutique hotel. But like no one refers to that as a boutique hotel, right? So, you know,

the way I define it is is kind of that, you know, 40 plus or minus 20 room type box. It's typically limited service

with maybe some food and beverage component to it. But the big thing is it's not powered by

Hilton, Marriott, IHE, which is Holidayans, you know, parent brand or even like some of the

smaller brands like choice or win them right and you have this like

creative ability to do what you want to control the experience when people come into the hotel right

with the branded hotels marriott hilton um hyatt they kind of tell you what they want the experience
